Funcom receives financial backing for dreamfall sequel

Norwegian site Dagbladet.no reports that Funcom will be receiving government funding to complete a new Longest Journey title, and that they plan to use some form of digital distribution (Steam or GameTap, mayhaps?) once it's finished. In a bizarre twist, Funcom is also considering creating an MMO based on the franchise.

The Longest Journey was an amazing adventure game. It was fun to play familiar faces in Dreamfall but their was a distinct lack of adventuring. Hopefully the 3rd in the series can go back to the roots.
